Bettie Page, the famous pinup model of the 1950's, died yesterday at the age of 85 from pneumonia after suffering a heart attack several days ago.

Her mystique will surely live on,  inspiring writers, artists, photographers, fashion designers and fans for generations to come.  As the ultimate good girl/bad girl sex goddess she has gained legendary cult status.

According to a CNN article she was one of the most photographed people of the twentieth century.

From her agent,  Mark Roesler "She captured the imagination of a generation of men and women with her
free spirit and unabashed sensuality. She is the embodiment of beauty."
